catching up is hard to do
I have a thirty-month-old. He is acting like a thirty-month-old. Send help. Or wine. (Or both.)
I am SO far behind on NCIS. Zach and I pretty much stopped watching it together after the end of season 9 - we only really have time for one show and it's been NCIS:Los Angeles. I'm trying to catch up on my own, though. I just finished season 10 last week and was really surprised at how much I loved it. For a while, the season felt like The Ziva Show again, which was getting old. They redeemed themselves at the end, though. I actually called my parents on my way home from work after watching the season finale (I LOVE registration time at work!) to squee over the episode. I can't remember the last time I've been excited enough to do that. I started season 11 today and loved the first episode. I have a feeling Tony will go off the rails again after Ziva leaves, but for now I am back in lurve with competent, snarky Tony.
I think stepping back for a while was the best thing I could have done, as far as enjoying the show. I still love to read and write fic, but you start to measure the characters against what you've created in your head and if it doesn't measure up, it gets frustrating. I also quit reading spoilers, so I had no clue how season 10 ended or how season 11 is going to go. It's kind of weird - I miss my fandom buddies, but I actually enjoy the show more with some distance. Maybe I can find a happy medium. I hope to at least write here more often.
I haven't written in forever. Not for real, at least - I've done plenty of storytelling in my head but haven't had much luck getting it down on paper/the screen/carved onto a rock/whatever. "Free" time is mostly spent with little guy and working on photography. I'll probably cycle back around soon, though. I usually do.
Now, back to registration and episode 2 of season 11! :-)
